Hi Chan kok san,

In most cases, China Post will let you purchase standard packing box although you think yours is hard enough. They want you use theirs to avoid being returned back by customs check.

The cost is about 450RMB for 33kg luggage via SAL.

Hi
Thank you for the reply but I am confuse regarding the statement "returned back for custom check again?" Also my hard luggage material compare to heavy set paper box is much more stronger - Am I wrong? In the event of damaged on the luggage outer shell - it's acceptable for me. Mu question is -- It's a requirement from the Customs or the Postal Service that I must use the box to put the luggage with the contents into it? The luggage is secured as it use the number combination system (key) to unlock/lock. The number (key) will be indicated on the form which is accessible by authorized personal; Customs. Please advise.
